Instagram Launches a New App Called IGTV for Long-Form Video

21 June, 2018, 08:10 | Author: Kenneth Collins

IGTV is the most recent addition to Instagram's video offerings, following the introduction of Instagram Stories and live video.

At an Instagram event this morning in San Francisco, CEO Kevin Systrom strode onstage and began talking about "old and outdated", "clunky and unnatural" video services that make you watch horizontal-oriented videos on a vertical smartphone screen and expect you to search or browse to find videos by your favorite creators. Ditto new announcements from Instagram owner Facebook and Twitter.

Instagram is taking on YouTube. Since our launch in 2010, we've watched with amazement as the community has flourished and grown. Users will also be able to discover IGTV content within the Explore tab on Instagram.

The company has officially launched IGTV, a new way for Instagram users to create YouTube-like channels that host longer videos within Instagram. Accounts with large audiences will be able to go as long as an hour. Of course, that means the new app is vertical and full screen. With IGTV, videos can be a max of 60-minutes-long.

We've made it simple, too. Like cable TV, you just turn it on and mindlessly consume all the content. Instead of watching NBC or HBO, you'll be watching a friend or an Instagram star.

IGTV also has channels, just like a TV, but the channels are the creators themselves. Rather, it is clearly aimed at high-quality creators with huge followings-people like Kim Kardashian, who is already using IGTV actively. Instagram has always been a place to connect with the people who inspire, educate and entertain you every day.

In other words: IGTV may not look super-impressive yet, but YouTube and other mobile video platforms ought to consider themselves on alert. We hope it brings you closer to the people and things you love.

IGTV will launch on both iOS and Android over the next few weeks. But it's not only for celebrities, anyone can upload videos, which are all vertical.

Business-wise, the move makes ideal sense.

-YouTube: In response to videos that repelled advertisers-most notably from video bad boy Logan Paul, YouTube now will only share ad revenues with video makers if they have at least 1,000 subscribers to their channel, and their videos have been watched at least 4,000 hours over the previous 12 months.

The station, about eight miles from central London , was closed and the area cordoned off amid reports of a suspicious package. A Twitter user with the handle @nakzokulah posted: "I was at Southgate Station when this commotion started".

But the Mexican defensive wall was sturdy; and they made Germany pay for it. "They have talent and they have to show up". The best tactics in the world are useless without application and the players' willingness to run for their teammates.

It's unsurprising to hear then that one team in the top three picks of the draft is looking at taking him. Or do they trade down - a la Danny Ainge - for a player who may still be there in the top five?

Brazil began the tournament as one of the early favourites, but their failure to beat Switzerland will dampen some of the hype. Brazil were caught sleeping as Xherdan Shaqiri fired in a corner and Zuber sent a thumping header past goalkeeper Alisson.

Kang said that before sanctions are lifted, various confidence-building measures can be taken among the parties concerned. In 2008, joint events like this were held to mark the anniversary at Mount Kumgang on North Korea's east coast.

The former Chairman Howard Schultz stepped down earlier in June . "That becomes an area of concern for Starbucks". Starbucks said it expects same-store sales to grow 1% in its third fiscal quarter of 2017.

But this set of rules for minors - and the White House's objections - existed well before the new zero tolerance policy . And a source in the conservative Freedom Caucus source was even harsher: "It's a total miscue from the administration ".

It is planned that the new hypercar in two years will take part in the world championship on races on endurance. Former Formula One champions Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button are among 180 drivers in the crews of three.

For his next release, the Duchess chose a light Sussex slinky MIDI dress with a black small belt at the waist from the Givenchy. There was also a moment of silence that paid tribute to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire on its one-year anniversary.

I don't know what happens now.' And then he started speaking to the rules official. "He played a moving ball", Bodenhamer said. SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -Phil Mickelson, who's known for playing by the rules, stepped out of character on his birthday at the U.S.
